Is output to the controller (CPU) 61. as a result,
The voice message as described above is output from the speaker 63 of the house information panel 6, and the voice message output at this time is the same unless the locked electric lock is unlocked again.
Output is continued for one minute, and after one minute, the mode is automatically switched to the monitoring release mode, and the monitoring system executes the absence mode. In this example, one minute is set, but this time is set to an optimum value in consideration of the use situation.

When such a control operation is performed, if the door is closed and the door is locked from the outside without operating the occupancy confirmation switch 1, a voice message is output from the house information panel 6 or the door phone handset 7. Therefore, even if the operation of the occupancy confirmation switch 1 is forgotten, it can be recalled. In addition, when going out with no people left in the room, the state in which the voice message is output is left as it is for a predetermined time (one minute in FIG. 4) to automatically switch to the absence mode. Therefore, the user can go out as it is without having to operate the outing confirmation switch 5.

On the other hand, if the flag is held in the set state as a result of the controller 21 referring to the flag, it is determined that a person is left in the room, and the voice message is read from the voice recording means 22. Instead, the living information monitoring system is continued in the monitoring mode.

Things.

As will be understood from the above, according to the living information monitoring system of the present invention, when the electric lock is locked from outside without operating the occupancy confirmation switch when going out, the house installed in the room is not required. Since a voice message is repeatedly output from the information panel or the door phone handset, a person who intends to go out can check whether or not a person remains in the room by listening to the voice message. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a situation in which the user switches to the absence mode and goes out even if a person remains in the room.

Further, since a voice message is repeatedly output from the house information panel or the door phone handset, a person left in the room can also know that. Therefore, even if the person who goes out forgets the operation, the person left in the room can set the monitoring system to the occupancy mode by operating the occupancy confirmation switch by himself, so that he / she can be relieved, It is especially beneficial for people with reduced mobility.

Also, in the above embodiment, since the voice recording means 22 is provided on the lifestyle abnormality monitoring panel 2, voice messages to be sent to each room can be centrally registered in the manager's room or the like. A voice message having the same expression content can be output. FIG. 5 is a block diagram schematically showing another example of the living information monitoring system, and FIG. 6 is a block diagram schematically showing a circuit configuration of the living information monitoring system.

In this example, a voice recording means 67 is provided on the house information panel 6, and a voice message is stored in the voice recording means 67. The electric lock 4A reads the ID card 81 by a card reader and scans it. It is configured with an occupancy management lock which is unlocked. Therefore, the presence / absence determination circuit is not required in the life abnormality monitoring panel, and the configuration can be simplified.

The electric lock uses an ID card, reads and scans the ID code registered in the ID card by a card reader, and unlocks it. In addition, the electric lock has a secret switch for inputting a secret number to the electric lock. A configuration may be adopted in which a secret number is input from a secret switch to unlock the electric lock.
